CONOR MCGREGOR should be relieved of his lightweight title, according to UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.

McGregor, 21-3, reached the summit of the 155lbs division 14 months ago in the main event of UFC 205, a card which saw him TKO Eddie Alvarez to become the first fighter in the promotion’s history to hold two titles simultaneously.

'The Notorious’' hiatus from the Octagon was the result of the birth his son, Conor Jr, and a multi-million-pound boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

McGregor’s failure to defend the lightweight title has resulted in the UFC brass introducing an interim 155lbs belt into the mix.

With each passing month, calls for McGregor to defend his belt continue to grow, as well as those demanding he be stripped of his title.
